Chatting with a couple of the senior figures in the pressroom and none of us could recall a keeper ever captaining Town prior to Bart. Did Paul Cooper ever wear the armband? Can't think of anyone else who might have done. |  | | |  |

Cooper captained the side a few times in 86-87, I would have thought while Butcher was injured in 85-86 he would have been the go-to guy as well. |  | | |

Odd choice for me, can’t command his own box let alone the team. |  | | |

Jack Parry at Swansea in 54/55 is the only one I can see from TMWMTT. The regular captain, Tommy Parker, played, but Parry was from Swansea so was given the captaincy for that game only. He got injured and Town lost 6-1. |  | | |

There is a rule that Town's highest paid player is allowed the armband if he wants it. |  |

Did Richard Wright ever take over as captain when someone went off injured?
I also had the feeling Forrest might have done.
Was there any instance where one got to wear it because it was their whatever-th appearance? |  |

Didn't Ruchard Wright do a couple of games?
I'm 99.9% sure Forrest didn't though. |  |

If the ability to lead the team is the pre-requisite, Collins is the only player on our books who could qualify. | |

That wasn't one which immediately came to mind, I have to admit. Strong statting! | | | |

I used to have an old programme from around October 1986 which featured a short news story and photo of Cooper captaining us for the first time ever, I think, in a Full Members Cup tie with Plymouth. | | | |

Yep, and Clive Goodyear captaining Plymouth. The headline was Proud Captain Cooper. Which I remember solely because my mother read it and called him Pooper. I laughed like a drain (I was 10 at the time). | | | |

I was waiting to see if anyone came up with further info on him or Wright. I don't recall either of them skippering, which isn't to say they definitely didn't. | | | |

I was fairly certain Forrest didn't, but I bought Wright did a couple of games due to injuries but I hold my hands up that I might be wrong. | |

I think it would have been Ian Atkins taking over from Butcher back then. |  |
